When Stephen Mills spotted a dusty old safe in a museum in Canada, he thought hed try to crack the code, “just like in the movies”. But when he began turning the dial (撥号盘), he wasnt expecting a Hollywood ending.

For years, anyone who visited the Vermillion Heritage Museum in Alberta would have passed by a large, black metal box. Staff knew it had come from the long-gone Brunswick Hotel and was donated to the museum in the 1990s, but its code and contents remained a mystery for decades—until Mills unexpectedly cracked the code.

Mills, who lived in Fort McMurray, Alberta, was visiting the museum with his family last month over a holiday weekend. As they wandered around the exhibits with the museum guide, Tom Kibblewhite, they spotted the safe.

Kibblewhite told the family what he had told all other guests: the 900 kg black box with a silver dial had remained closed for generations. For years, the safe has intrigued volunteers at the museum. The manufacturer was unable to provide advice on how to open its thick door.

A locksmith once suggested that years of inactivity might have slowed down the gears (齿轮), making it not work. But Mills, who is a “mechanically-minded person”, asked whether he could give it a try. “Kibblewhite kept saying no one had opened it and that it was a mystery what was inside,” Mills said. “I thought this would be a great thing to do for a laugh for the kids. Maybe they can find some interesting historical things in it.”

After pressing his ear against the cool metal, he began turning the dial around quickly. With numbers ranging from 0 to 60, he turned clockwise three times to 20, counterclockwise two times to 40, and then clockwise one time to 60. He was astonished to hear a click. “I jumped up and told everyone I was buying a lottery ticket (彩票),” he said.

24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. He didnt think he would open the safe.

C. He didnt turn the dial in the beginning.

B. He got experience in a Hollywood movie.

D. He expected to win the lottery in the end.

25. What can we know about the safe?

A. It has a broken dial.

B. It is a donation from a businessman.

C. It is one of the most valuable exhibits in the museum.

D. It has been closed since it was brought to the museum.

26. How many times did Mills turn the dial clockwise to crack the code?

A. Four times. B. Three times. C. Two times. D. Once.

27. What does the story mainly tell us?

A. Everyone can do something great. B. Success is for the prepared ones.

C. A safe is not always that “safe”. D. Life is just full of surprises.

C

If youve ever eaten a free doughnut (甜甜圈) on the first Friday in June, youve celebrated the Doughnut Lassies—whether you realized it or not, National Doughnut Day was established to honor the Salvation Army volunteers who fried sugary snacks for World War I soldiers on the front line.

When the US entered World War I in 1917, the Salvation Army, a charity organization, sent about 250 volunteers (who were mostly women) to France, where the American army was stationed. The plan was to bring treats and supplies as close to the front line as possible. But the closer the volunteers got to the action, the fewer resources they could access.

Margaret Sheldon and Helen Purviance were credited with bringing doughnuts to the Wester Front. They had a handful of ingredients, including flour (面粉), sugar, animal fats, baking powder and canned milk. Doughnuts were one of the few sweet foods they could make without an oven, and once they had a fire hot enough to heat the oil, they could fry them up fast. The women had the pan to cook them in, but for other parts, they had to get creative. For example, grape juice bottles became rolling pins (搟面杖) when necessary.

Sheldon and Purviances pan could fit seven doughnuts at a time, and on day one, they made just 150 doughnuts for the group of 800 men. The soldiers even fought over a doughnut. Then they made some changes to their operation, and eventually made 5,000 doughnuts a day. The snacks were so popular that the volunteers earned the nickname “Doughnut Lassies”, while the soldiers they served were nicknamed “Doughboys”.

The Doughnut Lassies impact didnt end with World War I. The American soldiers experiences overseas made doughnuts a commonly eaten food for them back home.

28. Why did the Salvation Army send the volunteers to the front line?

A. To learn about life there. B. To provide French soldiers with food.

C. To bring food and supplies there. D. To increase the number of soldiers there.

29. Why did the volunteers decide to make doughnuts?

A. They thought soldiers preferred them. B. They could make them most easily.

C. They were good at making them. D. They could be more creative while making them.

30. How did Sheldon and Purviance probably react on Day One?

A. They were hopeless. B. They were confused.

C. They became a bit angry. D. They were greatly encouraged.

31. What can be inferred about doughnuts from the last paragraph?

A. Their impact didnt last long. B. They were more popular out of the US.

C. The American soldiers got tired of them. D. They became popular in the US after the war.

D

People trained to detect lies often rely on multiple signs, such as eye contact, length of responses and the details in what people say, but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioral information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Instead, Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues have found that focusing on the detail in what people say, while ignoring all other signs, is the most successful method to identify lies.

To figure it out, the researchers asked 44 students to either go for a walk or steal from a postbox in a mock (模擬的) crime. The team then conducted recorded interviews with the students, who were told to lie if they had committed the mock theft or to tell the truth if not.

Next, the researchers asked 171 people to watch six truthful and six deceptive (骗人的) interviews from these recordings. The team asked half of the participants to rate how much the interviewees avoided eye contact, which is widely believed to indicate lying. The other participants ranked the level of detail in interview statements. It showed that both truth-tellers and liars broke eye contact a similar amount, but truthful statements were much more detailed than deceptive ones, suggesting the latter is a more useful way to tell that someone is lying.

The researchers then asked 405 people to judge the true nature of six truthful and six deceptive statements chosen from written records of the interviews. The half of the participants relying on multiple signs accurately judged lies from the truth just 59% of the time, while the other half relying on level of detail alone identified the right answer 66% of the time.

“Our take is that using just one sign can provide a much simpler way to judge lies from the truth,” says Verschuere. Nevertheless, in the real world, you would probably want to check the truthfulness of statements through further investigations or follow-up questions, he says.

32. What did the researchers ask the students to do?

A. Lie about their mock theft. B. Record their own behaviors.

C. Describe their behaviors in detail. D. Avoid eye contact in the interview.

33. How did the researchers draw their conclusion?

A. By comparing data. B. By watching interviews.

C. By analyzing statements. D. By observing participants.

34. What does Verschuere think of the real-life application of the finding?

A. It works well. B. Its unsuccessful.

C. It has some limitations. D. Its of special use.

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. The Secrets Behind Lies B. The Best Way to Spot Liars

C. The Importance of Eye Contact D. Multiple Signs in Detecting Lies

How Do Languages Die?

How many languages do you think are there in the entire world? Altogether, people around the world speak about 6,000 languages. Does that surprise you? 36 Today, about half the worlds spoken languages are endangered. Experts say that another language becomes extinct every two weeks.

How do languages die? They die when people stop using them. But most people dont just stop speaking their native language. Its more complex than that. More often, theyre either pressured or forced to do so. 37 They are often pressured to speak the areas main language instead of their own. This leads many immigrants to stop using their native language. They might not even teach it to their children.

Slowly, the native language dies out.

Sometimes, languages shift or develop instead of becoming extinct. Have you ever heard that Latin is a dead language? In a way, it is. No one today speaks Latin as their native language. 38 People still use Latin in many ways. Scientists use it to name plants and animals.

39 That means the death of a language hurts peoples ability to take part in cultural traditions. They might lose access to stories and knowledge that were passed down for many years. This is one reason why many people today are working to save dying languages.

How can languages be saved? Some young people learn the language of their ancestors as adults. Linguists travel the world to record the last native speakers of dying languages. Some native speakers write dictionaries in their languages. They do so in the hope that future generations will bring the languages back to life. 40

A. There used to be many more!

B. You may have used it in school.

C. Languages are extremely closely tied to culture.

D. But that doesnt mean it disappeared completely.

E. One example is when people move to a different country.

F. There are plenty of things to do to help protect languages.

G. Many programs also work to help preserve native languages and culture.
